Snowbird (bird species)

The snowbird, also known as the bohemian waxwing, is a medium-sized songbird recognized for its sleek, grayish-brown body, distinctive crest, and black mask around the eyes. They’re primarily found in boreal forests across northern North America and Eurasia. These birds are highly social, often traveling in large flocks, especially during migration seasons. They feed on berries and fruits, which makes them more noticeable in winter when other food sources are scarce. Their striking appearance, with soft plumage and subtle markings, helps them blend into their environment, while their social behavior makes them interesting to observe.
